We look at sellers of unreleased phones on eBay much the same way we look at the FCC’s device approval database: fun for window shopping, but that’s about it. We’re not sure we’d personally part with enough cash to find out whether the seller of this particular HTC Shadow II for T-Mobile actually has the thing to sell us, though we can totally understand why well-heeled folk might be willing to give it a go (and if we had enough money to buy a phone straight off an FCC lab, we’d probably be living somewhere in a private archipelago with no phone service to start with). The long-rumored smartphone seems to change colors every time we see it, with this latest pack of photos suggesting a glossy black front with dark red gradient accents — not bad, we’ll admit. Like the original, the Shadow II packs WiFi and a 2 megapixel camera, but when it launches later this year it’ll come out of the box with Windows Mobile 6.1 and a definitely friendlier industrial design. Oh — and hopefully, a friendlier price than a functional prototype is currently commanding on auction.
[Thanks, Fernando]
